This paper examines Turkey’s increasing involvement in the Israeli–Syrian and Israeli–Palestinian conflicts as a third party in the last decade. The paper first discusses the underlying reasons and motivations behind the change inTurkish foreign policy. Inthis section we answer the following question: While the traditional Turkish policy in the Middle East was nonintervention, what factors contributed to this recent change? We discuss these as systemic factors and domestic factors. In the second section of the paper we summarize the theoretical literature on third party intervention and mediation especially focusing on strategies, modes, activities, and tactics used. This section lays the background for the following section which classifies the various Turkish third party strategies and activities in the Israeli–Syrian and Israeli–Palestinian conflicts so far. In the final section we focus on the challenges to this new Turkish role from Turkish, Israeli, and Arab perspectives. We also discuss the crises between Israel and Turkey in the last year and how they constitute a barrier to Turkey acting in an effective third party role

Turkey's Iraq Policy The War and Beyond
Altunışık, Meliha (2006-01-01)
Turkey's Iraq policy has come under scrutiny since the Turkish parliament defeated a motion that called for Turkey's involvement in the war against Iraq in 2003. This study argues that rationalist perspectives cannot completely account either for Turkey's non-cooperation with the USA in this war or for the articulation and implementation of Iraq policy since then. A comprehensive account of Turkey's Iraq policy requires a discussion of the impact of identity politics and historical narratives on perceptions...
